Increasing Rates of Oral Allergy Syndrome

A news report cites the rising "food allergies" to fruits and vegetables in the UK and Australia, particularly to bananas and kiwi fruit.
Common vegetables and fruits, such as celery, apples and pears, are now rivalling peanuts as the most prevalent cause of food-related allergies.

While these foods may cause the same symptoms, this is technically not food allergy, however, but what is actually termed as oral allergy syndrome, which is a cross-reaction that occurs among people who are allergic to certain types of pollens.

For example, if you have ragweed pollen allergies, beware of bananas, cucumbers, melons, zucchini, sunflower seeds, chamomile tea and Echinacea. If you have birch tree pollen allergies, you might manifest allergy symptoms upon eating peaches, apples, pears, cherries, carrots, hazelnuts, kiwi fruit or almonds.
